I've spent much of the day starting on a text-based adventure game (think Zork), initially called Dungeons of Lantashi (note, *not* the final name). The point of this project is just to get me programming in C++ on a regular basis.
I am intentionally *not* using an IDE right now - just emacs for editing the files, and a Makefile to combine all the classes into an executable.
My plan, initially is to create a system where the player wanders around the dungeons and interacts with fascinating creatures and NPCs, and of course collects gold, items, and kills a lot of monsters.
Later, I will convert this into a GTK-based app, and add graphics, sound, perhaps some animations. This project is for me to learn, or re-learn, C++, and to have fun creating something other people can explore.
Right now I have a very basic "move around the map" system. As time goes on, it will become a lot more detailed, with items, monsters, and a much more complex language system than I have now.
Anyways, back to coding! And hopefully some writing later today as well.
